CGOV.16:4.3 - Recover the constituent contributions and their availability

Work downward from the selected action. What must the performer be able to do or obtain from another participant?

In determining a vote, the needed contributions may include identifying the proposal, recognizing eligible participants, applying the voting weights and denominator, counting correctly and interpreting the result under the threshold. Establish where the relevant rules come from and how the people or tools use them. Arithmetic correctness cannot supply an omitted eligibility condition.

In presenting an alternative, the needed contributions can include understanding the subject analysis, preserving a material assumption, explaining its consequence and answering a relevant challenge. A well-written report may supply an input while the ability to use it in deliberation remains missing.

Stop a branch at an understood operation or an available contribution sufficient for this use. If the operation is unknown, recover it or obtain an explanation. If it is understood but cannot be performed in the combination, practise under those encompassing conditions, obtain support or use another competent contributor. Keep any corporate participation requirement when dividing the work between people, staff, advisers and AI tools.
